Sale : Christie's, London, 23rd June 2005, lot 476
Private Collection (acquired at the above sale)

Executed on white wove paper, not laid down, fixed to the backing sheet at 8 points along the edges. There are 8 artist's pinholes along the edges and some media marks towards the upper edge. There appears to be a repaired superficial tear or graze 1 cm from the right edge, midway down the sheet and another small spot under the black line to the left of the red disk. A few other visible grazes in the centre of the composition seem to be inherent to the artistic process. This work is in very good condition.
